Don't go diggin' for water under the outhouse ...

Stress and summertime both make your hair fall out.

Nothing in life goes the way you plan it, at any rate, make your plans with pride and unprecedented vigilance because you cannot spend your life pouting about the mass amount of stress you will encounter. Live as though each and everyday is a new adventure and you will find this to be true. All else, realize that failure, whether it be your own or that of another party, is simply a part of growing older. Nothing changes that.

Fate and love are inevitable. Running from the beginning of either show that you are deeply human, and just like your mother.

I deeply believe that is the mystery of persona that keeps an individuals passions for other people high in life. Meaning that once you  know all there is to know, dig a little deeper. Watch a person's habit, learn their reactions, appreciate their skills, accept their faults because you have your own. Then and only then can you truly begin loving people for who they are.

I've mistakenly placed myself in front of the barrel of this loaded pen before kids, but these certainties above, I promise you just as I promise you that everytime  you two say "I love you, mom" I grow from within at an indescribable rate of unbrittled stability with more passion and greater drive. You two are the very core of my foundation. You've saved me.

Time doesn't change too awful much about learnings in life. Let this stand as my self proof.

If you need a cheerleader... I'm cheerin' all day long

Oh. My. Stars.

Today is Thursday, and I'm pretty certain if I looked at my actual sleep achievement time this week I'd faint. Somewhere between my children, work and the move, I'm lost in translation with the remaining aspects of my own personal life. I wish I knew where to begin.

The move. What a trainwreck. From one side of town to the other, in one day. WHAT was I thinking? The children were more excited than I was, total mess. However, we finally finished ... 14 hours later.

The kids. Yipes. Growing and growing and growing. It's no big secret that they recently found out that they were going to be brother and sister to a new addition on their dad's behalf. When I asked them if they were excited, it definitely took some time for them to settle into it, nearly a month later, they wanted to begin spot buys on baby clothing for the new addition, so in an attempt to help them adjust, we began shopping. When they mentioned the gender appointment, I asked the results, only to be provided with "It's going to be a German Shepard!" ... so I assume that the adjustment stages are completed. ;)

My brother and his significant other found out their gender yesterday! It looks as though I'll finally be the proud Aunt AA to a beautiful bouncing baby ... BOY! Ecstatic much!?

Love and social life, non-existent with a 103 mile a day commute to and from work, collectively. I'll spare the details on this, because I have a super duper HUGE personal life reveal coming along soon. Hold onto your socks, I didn't expect it either.

I'm also going to forewarn you about the joys of living outside of an apartment complex, you know, in the residential area, where you make your own repairs, who the hell thought it would be safe to sell me a drill? I'd love to congradulate them on such a miserable decision, the caulk gun too.

In the mean time, it's time for another "Things I've learned post..." coming your way.
